Today marks a significant milestone as MyShopLauncher announced its official launch, bringing forth a groundbreaking ecommerce platform designed to redefine the landscape for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Africa.
According to statista, the revenue in the E-commerce market in Africa was forecast to continuously increase between 2024 and 2028 by in total 15 billion U.S. dollars (+48.88 percent).
After the sixth consecutive increasing year, the indicator is estimated to reach 45.72 billion U.S. dollars and therefore a new peak in 2028.
A Vision Fueled by Empathy
Founded two years ago, MSL’s inception was rooted in the recognition of the struggles faced by African merchants managing their businesses manually.
The MSL team embarked on a journey that involved extensive conversations with entrepreneurs, surveys, and rigorous testing of theories.
This painstaking process led to the development of a product that not only offers a no-code e-commerce storefront free of charge but also reflects a genuine commitment to the welfare and growth of SMEs.
More Than a Platform: A Caring Community
At the heart of MSL’s mission is a desire to forge connections that extend beyond business transactions. Beyond providing no-cost storefronts, MSL is dedicated to creating real bonds with business owners, offering support, guidance, and the tools needed for success.
This commitment goes beyond the conventional, embodying a genuine care and concern for the thriving of SMEs in Africa.
